basis whilst in INSTALLATION mode. ASET mode is only required if Auto-address devices are used in the fire
protection system. Auto-address devices do not have their addresses set using switches. They automatically assign
their own addresses and ASET mode is used to achieve this.
Because ASET mode requires manual triggering of each device (using the standard test procedure for each one) the
installer can effectively choose the address for each detector and simultaneously program and test each device.
Automatic Addressing Devices CAN BE MIXED WITH OTHER TYPES OF DEVICES ON THE SAME LOOP. Each time an
Auto-address-device is programmed it takes the next free address on its loop.
General Guidelines
Before starting the programming procedure, care should be taken with the following:
a) Supply OK.
b) Auxiliary Supply (Batteries) OK.
c) Loop Supply OK.
d) Verify the non-existence of earth current leakage.
e) Verify the cable lengths for the loop.
f ) Confirm the non-existence of short or open circuits within the loop.
g) Verify communications with standard analogue addressable devices is OK.
h) Verify communications between Panel and Repeaters.
Verify that all Automatic Addressing Devices connections, both to the loop and the associated device (i.e. smoke sensor/
detector, call point, etc.) are properly made and that the device connections follow the manufacturer's instructions, in
particular those regarding polarity. Reversal of the supply polarity can cause failure or malfunction and prevent an Automatic
Addressing Devices from being programmed.
CAUTION
Verify that there are no faults or fire conditions in the loop or system.
Clear all fault and fire conditions first.
Reset to normal operation all devices before applying power to the panel,
in particular manual call points.
6-4-1 Activate ASET Mode (Automatic Address Settings)
The enabling of this mode is done on a per loop basis.
When the loop is in ASET MODE, the TEST LED on the Panel will be ON.
CAUTION
A loop while in ASET mode will not offer any kind of protection against fire conditions.
DO NOT remove or replace auto-address-devices while loop is powered. If one of these modules has to be replaced or
removed, first disconnect all supply sources to the panel.
CAUTION
Removal of an auto-address-device while loop is powered can corrupt
programming of this module.
Start auto-address-devices programming
Activate a blank auto-address-device by either testing the device associated with it, either using the standard test procedure
for the device. Smoke and heat detectors will have their alarm LED permanently lit when activated. Sounders can be set to
activate for approximately 1 second, using function 7-3, every time a new auto-address-device is activated (i.e. fire
condition).
The programming of a new address can be monitored using function 7-1, after a new auto-address-device has been
programmed the device count will increase by one and by selecting the newly programmed address, the device type,
address and analogue value can also be confirmed.
